             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Sub-task

    Affects Versions: 17.12.01, 16.11.06, 18.12.01

CVE-2019-0199 Apache Tomcat HTTP/2 DoS

Severity: Important

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.14
Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.37

Description:
The HTTP/2 implementation accepted streams with excessive numbers of
SETTINGS frames and also permitted clients to keep streams open without
reading/writing request/response data. By keeping streams open for
requests that utilised the Servlet API's blocking I/O, clients were able
to cause server-side threads to block eventually leading to thread
exhaustion and a DoS.

Mitigation:
Users of affected versions should apply one of the following mitigations:
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 9.0.16 or later
  Note: Apache Tomcat 9.0.15 contains the necessary fixes but was not
        released
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 8.5.38 or later

Credit:
The issue with excessive SETTINGS frames was reported by Michal Karm
Babacek from Red Hat, Inc. As a result of his report the Tomcat Security
team identified additional issues related to read/write timeouts.
